Actually, that's a pretty common, normal line of thinking, often summarized as "those things happen to the
other people". Even the declared love of psychology is quite usual, as is the dismissal of "normal".
Sweet/loving/sensitive type dismissal shows a huge disconnect. People hurt that way include soldiers, astronauts, public performers, politicians, enterpreneurs and many others. You're not really looking into people, you're romanticizing the diseases they have, and that really comes off as patronizing in most cases, and in this case as reckless and patronizing.
